Editor ' Assistant Editor Business Manager Business Manager Exchange and Circulation Manager WIIAT IS THANKSGIVING? Many of us never stop to think of the origin or purpose of Thanksgiving. We regard it as a day of feasting, sports, and as an outlet for rest and fun. Thanksgiving is a legacy of the Pilgrims, cherished because of the traditions that surround it. It was first established in 1621 by Goernor Bradford of the Plymouth colony. On a cold, bleak day in December these people arrived on the goast of New England and. survived the cruel winter that followed. But the next fall a great harvest was made and in their appreciation of these abundant blessings a day of Thanksgiving was set apart. Men were sent out to hunt wild game. Four turkeys were brought back; thus turkeys have become a necessary part of Thanksgiving. This first celebration lasted nearly a week and a large group oi friendly Indians attended. In July, 1623, when the colony was facing starvation and again were blessed with good weather and an abundant harvest, another clay of thanksgiving was set apart in rejoicing. estabIu 17S9, President Washington issued a proclamation lishing a day for thanksgiving, but it only lasted a short time. A second proclamation was issued by President Lincoln in 1864, which was due largely to the efforts of Sarah Josepha Hale She wrote editorials on the subject for over twenty years, and her last one, written in September. 1863, bore fruit in Lincolns proclamation. All the presidents since that time have followed his example and have supported the idea. Canada also has celebrated Thanksgiving for a long time, but it has been in October. And England had its first experience with Thanksgiving in 1942 when churches throughout Britain were turned over to the American army for Thanksgiving services. So, then, what should Thanksgiving mean to us? We students of Dixie College and every citizen of America?

CHURCHS A Good Place To Go ! ! ! ! iLA' J)IX PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK OUR YOUNGER GENERATION also the We, the Freshmen, younger generation of Dixie, are here to answer a certain question that has been circulating quite freely around the campus lately. The question is, Is this young-eratio- n going to the dogs? The answer in our humble estimation No! Just ask any one of us. We shall take a few paragraphs of space (below) to prove our conclusive answer. The best way to find the true answer about us Freshmen would be to ask our dear American history teacher, the Honorable Coach Hafen, (But be sure NOT to ask about his one oclock class. It has the majority of Santa Clara in it so what can you expect?) We can, and love, to brag about our 60 attendance thia year. We are noted, for having most of the good looking boys and some of the cutest girls in our little clan. For instance, for personality there are Wendell Grey and Marlene Frei. For looks there are Gary Wayne Graff and Vina Ruth Miles. Karl Brooks and Mary Lu Atkin can furnish you with plenty of laughs. Dont get the wrong idea now; this doesnt even begin to introduce you to all of the cute personalities and talents. To continue with a few more, we have Deniece Truman, Nancy Anderson, Karl Hutchings, and Darrel Graff, who can sing like nightingales and warblers. Carol Foremaster and Lawrence Snell are a couple of Oscar winners from the speech department. Also, as a miscellaneous, Sherri Porter is a big laugh. Our first chance to show you just what kind of swell kids, with live imaginations, we are will be December 5 when we give our big Freshmen Frolic. Its going to be a swell dance so start practicing your leap frog and plan on being there. Is there anyone else who thinks we are headed for you know where? Well, bow wow! I mean I guess that question is answered once and for all. ORCHIDS Thr Lawrence Modi, prrsomilit of the week, takes time otf fr his many duties at the college to enjoy his hobby of colhcting money. The other day heard some one ask, Who is that, tall, hunk of man blonde, blue-eye- d walking down the hall? I turned and looked at them in amazement. I said. If you Why, girls, dont know Lawrence Snell, then you have missed half of your life! Hes that handsome sophomore who has something more to do about nothing than nothing has to do about something or maybe its the other way around. Oh well anyway. Is he married? they asked. Married! No girls, he is only sixteen years old, eligible, but has only one Interest school. as They kind of snickered though they didnt believe me. Hey! Come to think of it maybe they didnt. But that isnt all, I went on. Hes one of the busiest guys on the campus. Between the time he spends as assistant stage manager, class representative for the annual, and being In charge of the lighting, he is at the football long-sufferi- Come See Us For All Your Needs . . .
